A/N – So I thought I'd update really quick. My birthday is tomorrow. Yesterday this authors note said it was in two days but the docment wouldn't upload yesterday.You guys were fairly generous with reviews this time around so I thought I'd give you a treat and update really quick. I might not update for a few days because I'm going to be out and about this week. ALSO! I'm trying to make a fanvid and I'm taking ideas from everyone and seeing what I can do. If you have any ideas, by all means tell me.

Reviewer Mentions:

Lapdogdesign34I totally agree, who wouldn't be obsessed with Logan. This is usually where I'd insert some sort of dirty joke but I figured I leave it up to your imagination.

Xwhat.can.i.sayxI've been drilling my birthday into your head since your birthday so I think it's safe to assume you'll remember. Glad you're a shipper of something. I'm going to have to ask you to sign up for some insurance while reading the story then, so that the blindness in your future doesn't rest on my shoulders.

Mochaddicted79– I promise to write more LoVe stories after this. Truth be told I'm going to be sad to stop writing. It's fun, thanks for being such an awesome reader.

Disclaimer – I couldn't risk losing my season 1-boxed set in the lawsuit. I don't own anything that RT made.

Bold Capitals - Files/Flashbacks

--

That explains it.

Veronica shuffled through the files in the drawer. Files she must have stolen so that no one else could get them. For a physco she's smart.

Veronica didn't know how to get the files out of the room to read them over without getting caught. She decided to take the papers out of the folders and crunch them up. She shoved a few in her sports bra and the rest in her pockets, sleeves and wherever else she could fit them. It was obvious she was hiding something and she regretted not just taking the files and running out. Now to leave the house.

She crept down the stairs and peeked over the railing. Logan spotted her in the corner of his eyes and saw some bulges coming out of her shirt and her arms. He smirked and tried to lead Laura away so that she could make a clean exit. Laura kept her eyes towards the stairs. Do something drastic Logan. Kiss her or something. Logan wasn't about to kiss Laura. He feared that Veronica would get angry or jealous.

C'mon Logan. Veronica had to get out so she had to take drastic measures. She saw a drunken Dick coming up the stairs, probably to get his bang on with one of the other drunks upstairs. She grabbed his arm, pulled him towards her and kissed him. She could taste the beer on his breath and she was worried about what Logan was thinking. She pressed herself against him so that the papers sticking out of her weren't visible and she led him towards the front door. When they got out the door Veronica pushed him off her. "Thanks." She said slyly and started jogging towards her car.

"You're a tease Ve-ron-i-ca." he slurred his words and stumbled back into the party.

Veronica sat for a few minutes and waited to see if Logan would come out. She finally decided to go home and re-read the files. She drove home quickly and ran into her room. The house was quiet and it was times like this that she wished her father didn't have to go away so much.

She sat on the bed with her headphones on and read the files that she had snatched from Laura's rooms. She pulled the papers out of her clothes and unfolded them. The ones she shoved into her black sports bra were medical files. She started rereading those.

June 14th 1998

Laura Nuvalia shows signs of major depression.

Symptoms: Under eating, Lack of sleep, mood swings.

If medication is not taken, she may begin to become obsessive and neurotic.

September 20th 1998

Laura shows no interest in taking anti-depressants.

A physiatrist is recommended under these conditions.

After that there were no appointments from that doctor. The next few were from the psychiatrist. They contained recorded question and answer periods.

Q & A – January 2000

Q What do you like most about your family?

A There's nothing to like about them. They overcrowd me. They don't get it.

Q Why do you think you're unhappy?

A Why do you think I'm unhappy? My youngest brother was just killed. How am I supposed to react? Is it supposed to be sunshine and happiness?

Q I just think that there are better ways to deal with your unhappiness. Why don't you tell me about it? Just tell me how you're feeling.

The rest was Laura talking to her doctor.

Two years old. That's how old he was. I used to wake up every morning and he'd be sitting on the couch playing with his toys and waiting for breakfast to be made. Then one day I walk downstairs and he's not sitting there. I ask my parents where he is and my mom breaks down and starts crying. That's when I figured something is wrong. They told me he was dead, what else was I supposed to do? Am I supposed to be normal after that? He was my brother, he was…

Veronica figured that where she stopped talking, she started crying. I can understand losing someone. I did. Some people handle their emotions differently and hers turned her crazy.

The last piece of the medical file was a note from one doctor to another.

Dear Doctor Morrison,

Laura has not attended her session with me for 5 weeks. I was hoping that you could update me on her progress. It's important that she is monitored in her condition.

Thanks. Dr. Walters.

There was no reply to the letter.

Veronica continued to read the files. The paper in her sleeve was a copy of a newspaper article written on March 12th 2002.

Justin Nuvalia put to death for murder of 2 year old Son.

Veronica skipped the details of the article. This is why Laura snapped. Her father killed her brother. She went crazy and started obsessing over people. Her mind was in another world.

The last bits of paper were court orders. Restraining orders against other celebrity sons. Veronica had heard of a few of these boys but their dads weren't as famous as Aaron Echolls. Josh Strome, Trevor Carlson and Mark Boreal. Veronica suddenly got nervous to what Laura did to make these boys file restraining orders on her. She was scared for Logan.

Veronica thought she could call these boys and ask. Sure, it was upfront but she needed to figure this out. You're so close Veronica. Don't quit now. It was late and she figured that 'famous' boys didn't want to be bothered at this hour. Instead, she was going to look for Logan to make sure he was okay.

The party was still going and Logan was sitting on the couch with Laura, chatting with some 09er girls about something. Logan wasn't paying attention; he was waiting for a call from Veronica. Something that could let him off the hook and let him stops pretend fighting with her. He sat and wondered if she had found anything out. He kept looking towards the door when finally the tiny blonde girl popped in and stared him right in the eyes. She smiled and walked towards the bar area near the kitchen.

Dick came up to her while she was walking and stopped her. "How about a little lovin' for a little lady." He was topless and drunk and Veronica laughed.

"Sorry Dick, save that bad boy in your pants for someone more worthy." With that she kept walking towards the kitchen and Dick smacked her in the ass.

"Call me." He screamed. Veronica laughed and stopped at the table where the drinks were set up. She eyed Logan to come join her, took a cup and walked out to the back patio.

She watched him through the sliding glass doors. He kissed Laura on the cheek and walked towards the staircase. Then he swerved around and started walking towards the back patio. No one noticed his detour. He quietly slid the doors open and walked up beside Veronica. She didn't talk she just started walking away from the doors and into the bushy garden area where no one could see them. He followed her silently and they stood beside each other.

"Hey." Veronica said and shed a small smile.

"Hey." Logan replied, standing still and gazing directly into her eyes. "Did you find anything out?"

"To summarize it. Her father killed her younger brother. She got depressed and the depression turned her crazy. She started obsessing over the sons of celebrities."

"Does all that information allow me to break it off with her?" Logan asked eagerly. Reading between the lines makes what he just said really sweet.

"There's still more for me to find out. Like what she did to get restraining orders put against her, what happened to Maria and how I'm involved?"

Logan frowned, "I can get more personal with her."

"Oh look at you, being my helpful sidekick boyfriend." Veronica smiled and leaned up to give him a kiss. The kiss deepened and they stayed that way until they needed to break for air.

"Was that better then Dick's kiss?" Logan joked.

"You have no idea." Veronica looked into his eyes and Logan leaned back down for another kiss.

Finally they broke free, "Can I get personal with her tomorrow. Maybe we can go back to your house and make up for some more lost time."

"I thought the other day was all about making up for lost time."

"We lost more time then expected." He kissed her lightly and started to walk towards the house, "See you at your house in a bit."

She smiled. I'm looking forward to it.

"So how are you going to get personal with her?" Veronica questioned as she sat with Logan on the couch.

"Shhh, enough about business." Logan said, kissing her neck and pushing her onto the couch.

"Logan!" She pushed him back up. "We have all night, let's talk about this."

"Fine." He said in his kid-about-to-throw-a-tantrum voice.

"I'm letting you know that in order to get information your allowed to kiss her." She looked at his face eagerly waiting for her to stop talking, "But no sex."

"I wouldn't dare." He said, "Are we done talking?"

He pushed her back down and started kissing her neck again. "Logan! Wait." Again she pushed him back up and kept talking.

"Tomorrow I'm going to get a hold of the boys who filed restraining orders against her. You may be able to help me with that." She looked up at him who was glaring at her with those beady eyes, "You can just try and figure out Laura and help me whenever I call you."

She finished talking and grabbed the collar of his shirt. She kissed him lips and pulled him down to the couch with her, "But that's tomorrow."
